  • the invention relates to a method for operating a
  • Field device of industrial process and / or automation technology wherein the field device is at least temporarily supplied by an energy source with electrical energy.
  • the field device is, for example, a sensor or an actuator.
  • HART devices normally - 4 ... 20 mA HART devices - classically wired - are supplied with 24 V DC in a process plant.
  • the cable connection may cause a voltage drop, so it is usually assumed that a HART device does not require more than 16 V DC.
  • Some field devices require even lower voltages.
  • the field devices are automatically able, e.g. to communicate via radio or appropriate communication units are provided, which are connected to the field devices and which provide wireless communication.
  • the power supply for example, free energy sources (e.g., light) or batteries are used.
  • free energy sources e.g., light
  • batteries For batteries, it is necessary that they are replaced if necessary, so that the highest possible life is achieved.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a method with which a field device is optimized for battery operation.
  • the invention solves the problem in that the minimum required by the field device voltage requirement is determined that from the determined minimum required voltage requirement, a supply voltage value is determined, and that the field device is at least temporarily supplied with electrical energy whose voltage is below or substantially equal to the determined supply voltage value.
  • the minimum voltage requirement of the field device is thus determined, ie it is determined which voltage is minimally required for the field device to function.
  • a supply voltage value is determined or predetermined or taken from stored data or calculated via such data. This supply voltage value is preferably not exceeded in the subsequent power supply in order to save energy via the reduction of the electrical voltage provided. If, for example, a certain amount of energy is present or required for certain periods of time, then the field device can also be supplied with a higher voltage.
  • the supply voltage value is equal to the minimum required voltage.
  • the supply voltage value also takes into account that voltage losses occur, for example, via the connection between the energy source and the field device, ie the supply voltage value is above the minimum required voltage.
  • the field device is thus supplied as much voltage as is sufficient for the operation of the device. This is accompanied by the fact that the energy source is spared appropriate and thus their life is increased.
  • the field device is, for example, a measuring device / sensor or an actuator. At certain times it can be provided that the field device is "put to sleep", wherein the field device is operated with a lower voltage, in particular with a substantially zero voltage set in.

  • the field device would, for example, store the energy and not begin to work until a certain value has been reached It may also be provided that the field device targets functionalities or peripherals in the event of this undersupply turns off or performs only one core functionality.
  • Voltage requirement is determined at least based on stored data.
  • the data are for example in technical information or are stored in the form of software.
  • An embodiment includes that it is determined what type of field device it is, and that the minimum required voltage requirement is determined at least on the basis of the field device associated deposited data.
  • the type of field device - ie model, measuring principle, manufacturer, variant, year of manufacture, etc. - is entered manually, for example, or is queried by the field device itself.
  • An embodiment provides that it is determined with which configuration the field device is operated, and that the minimum required voltage requirement is determined at least on the basis of the type of field device and the configuration of associated stored data.
  • the energy or voltage requirement of the field device may be different, so that this must be taken into account when determining the voltage requirement.
  • the type of field device and the maximum expected voltage requirement so that in the real implementation, which may not all functionalities, correspondingly less voltage is sufficient.
  • Voltage requirement is determined such that the voltage of the electrical energy with which the field device is supplied, is varied. In this embodiment is thus tested, which is the minimum voltage. For example, the voltage is increased until the field device outputs a suitable status message.
  • An embodiment provides that the field device is connected to a feed adapter, and that the minimum required voltage requirement is determined by the power adapter.
  • a power adapter is thus, for example, a control unit, which with a conventional field device is connected and which doing, for example, the adaptation to the wireless operation.
  • the power adapter is also provided for wireless communication with or from the field device, so that it is a total of a communication and power adapter. This could also be described as a combined supply and communication unit.
  • the field device is supplied with an electrical voltage which is below the supply voltage value.
  • the field device is thus at least temporarily put into a sleep state.
  • the field device in battery-powered or generally wireless field devices is usually apart from a continuous operation; Rather, in the case that the field device is a sensor, the measured values are recorded at longer intervals, so that it is easily possible to switch off the field device for the meantime or put it into sleep state / standby.
  • the power supply is temporarily switched off completely.
  • An embodiment provides that the relevant for a voltage loss length of the connection between the field device and power source is determined, and that the supply voltage value is determined at least in dependence on the determined relevant length. If, in particular, there is a cable connection between the field device and the energy source, the cables cause voltage losses, which must be taken into account in the determination or determination or calculation of the supply voltage value from the minimum required voltage value.
  • An embodiment includes that at least one battery is used as the energy source.
  • battery is meant in this case also accumulators.
  • the field device thus leads, for example, in an internal memory the information about its minimum voltage requirements with it. This value is then read, for example, from the above-mentioned supply adapter and used to determine the supply voltage.

  • the field device 1 is, for example, an actuator.
  • the field device 1 is a two-wire or HART device.
  • the field device 1 is connected to the power adapter 2 mechanically and electrically via a connection unit 8, in which it is two cables connected.

  • the power adapter 2 is connected to an energy source 3, which is, for example, a battery.
  • the field device 1 is thus connected to a battery-powered communication and supply adapter 2.
  • the method according to the invention is used. In this case, it is first determined what the minimum voltage is that the field device 1 requires for operation. This value depends inter alia on the type of field device 1 itself, but also of the specific configuration of the field device 1.
  • the link between field device 1 and power source 3 is relevant.
  • a supply voltage value is determined which should not be undershot during the power supply of the field device 1 during normal operation, so that the field device 1 can operate safely, for example reliably determines its measured values.
  • the value may be undershot to save more energy.
  • the minimum required voltage value is determined, for example, by the value being stored in the field device 1 or in the adapter 2 or by being set by appropriate input options or by being determined directly by the adapter 2, for example, by debugging or varying the voltage value. For the latter variant, for example, the voltage is increased until the field device 1 outputs a corresponding message.
  • FIG. 2 shows more details of a power adapter 2.
  • the communication of the signals from the sensor 1 to the power adapter 2 takes place by means of HART signals, which are tapped in the power adapter 2 via the communication resistor 4.

In this time it is prevented that there is a voltage drop across the communication resistor 4.
